Audit 295879

Type of Finding: Material Weakness Criteria: 2 CFR Section 200.302 of the Uniform Guidance requires that a non-federal entity provide for accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program. Additionally, 2 CFR Section 200.303 of the Uniform Guidance requires the non-Federal entity to establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: We identified the following issues during our audit procedures over the SEFA and federal grant expenditure reports (SEFA project rollout): The preliminary SEFA provided by the Agency excluded eight federal programs with approximately $779,000 of federal revenues. The preliminary SEFA provided by the Agency contained various inaccuracies for contract numbers and contract periods, which resulted in various corrections subsequent to receipt of the preliminary SEFA. Thirty-two project reports for cost reimbursable federal grants contained variances over $25,000 between federal revenues and expenditures. Through procedures performed in other audit areas, we identified approximately $908,000 of contract labor invoices and expenditures not accrued on the Agency’s consolidated financial statements and excluded from the preliminary SEFA. These expenditures were related to the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) (ALN #97.024). The Agency received advanced funding throughout the year from FEMA for operating the Centro De Bienvenida (CDB). The complete and final reconciliation for federal grant deferred revenues to account for the balance of advanced funds was not timely provided at the start of audit fieldwork. Various adjustments were pending to deferred revenue accounts, specifically EFSP-allowable expenditures for the CDB and reversal of prior year deferred revenues for expenditures incurred in the current year. This resulted in approximately $490,000 of adjustments to deferred revenue accounts during the audit. The Agency identified approximately $123,000 of disallowed expenditures, which required reclassification from the CDB federal project code to general funds. This amount was not provided until after completion of the Agency’s expense receipt review project which was after the start of audit fieldwork. The specific issues and/or observations noted above included material adjustments proposed during the audit to properly reconcile the federal award expenditures and obtain a complete and accurate SEFA. These adjustments and findings also resulted in four versions of the SEFA received by the auditor throughout our audit procedures. Cause: Lack of timely review and oversight of federal project expenditures, including the SEFA rollout report. In addition, the preliminary SEFA and underlying support was not timely reviewed by management after it was prepared by accounting staff. Effect or potential effect: Not implementing a timely review of federal grant expenditures (SEFA rollout report) and deferred revenue reconciliations, including information contained in the SEFA, increases the risk of material errors to the consolidated financial statements that would not be detected by management in a timely manner. Recommendation: We recommend the Agency implement adequate and timely oversight of federal grant expenditures to ensure proper compliance with federal expenditure reporting and SEFA preparation. We understand that the agency’s federal grant budget significantly increased during the fiscal year with the operation of the CDB. Thus, it is expected that increased federal funding levels would require more levels oversight to ensure compliance with proper financial management of the grants. Repeat Finding: No Questioned Costs: None Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.

Condition: During testing of credit card purchases, we noted that supervisor approvals of expense reports were not timely obtained. Specifically, we identified the following: Out of 25 credit card transactions tested during our financial statement audit procedures, we noted: 1 transaction did not have proper approvals on file, Approvals for 6 transactions occurred over 90 days after transaction dates, Approvals for 4 transactions occurred over 120 days after the transaction dates, Out of 25 credit card transactions tested during the single audit procedures (ALN #97.024), we noted: Approvals for 9 transactions occurred over 30 days after the transaction dates, Approvals for 8 transactions occurred over 90 days after the transaction dates Cause: Lack of timely review of credit card expense reports and transactions by supervisors for approval. Effect or potential effect: Noncompliance with federal award grants for disallowed costs or costs charged to grants without accurate supporting documentation. Additionally, credit card purchases run a higher risk for abuse if not timely reviewed. Recommendation: We recommend that the Agency ensure that all credit card reports and transactions are timely reviewed by supervisors to ensure proper compliance with federal grant requirements.

Thirty-two project reports for cost reimbursable federal grants contained variances over $25,000 between federal revenues and expenditures. Through procedures performed in other audit areas, we identified approximately $908,000 of contract labor invoices and expenditures not accrued on the Agency’s consolidated financial statements and excluded from the preliminary SEFA. These expenditures were related to the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) (ALN #97.024). The Agency received advanced funding throughout the year from FEMA for operating the Centro De Bienvenida (CDB). The complete and final reconciliation for federal grant deferred revenues to account for the balance of advanced funds was not timely provided at the start of audit fieldwork. Various adjustments were pending to deferred revenue accounts, specifically EFSP-allowable expenditures for the CDB and reversal of prior year deferred revenues for expenditures incurred in the current year. This resulted in approximately $490,000 of adjustments to deferred revenue accounts during the audit. The Agency identified approximately $123,000 of disallowed expenditures, which required reclassification from the CDB federal project code to general funds. This amount was not provided until after completion of the Agency’s expense receipt review project which was after the start of audit fieldwork. The specific issues and/or observations noted above included material adjustments proposed during the audit to properly reconcile the federal award expenditures and obtain a complete and accurate SEFA. These adjustments and findings also resulted in four versions of the SEFA received by the auditor throughout our audit procedures. Cause: Lack of timely review and oversight of federal project expenditures, including the SEFA rollout report. In addition, the preliminary SEFA and underlying support was not timely reviewed by management after it was prepared by accounting staff. Effect or potential effect: Not implementing a timely review of federal grant expenditures (SEFA rollout report) and deferred revenue reconciliations, including information contained in the SEFA, increases the risk of material errors to the consolidated financial statements that would not be detected by management in a timely manner. Recommendation: We recommend the Agency implement adequate and timely oversight of federal grant expenditures to ensure proper compliance with federal expenditure reporting and SEFA preparation. We understand that the agency’s federal grant budget significantly increased during the fiscal year with the operation of the CDB. Thus, it is expected that increased federal funding levels would require more levels oversight to ensure compliance with proper financial management of the grants. Repeat Finding: No Questioned Costs: None Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.

Condition: During testing of credit card purchases, we noted that supervisor approvals of expense reports were not timely obtained. Specifically, we identified the following: Out of 25 credit card transactions tested during our financial statement audit procedures, we noted: 1 transaction did not have proper approvals on file, Approvals for 6 transactions occurred over 90 days after transaction dates, Approvals for 4 transactions occurred over 120 days after the transaction dates, Out of 25 credit card transactions tested during the single audit procedures (ALN #97.024), we noted: Approvals for 9 transactions occurred over 30 days after the transaction dates, Approvals for 8 transactions occurred over 90 days after the transaction dates Cause: Lack of timely review of credit card expense reports and transactions by supervisors for approval. Effect or potential effect: Noncompliance with federal award grants for disallowed costs or costs charged to grants without accurate supporting documentation.
